ADSL CPE Equipment

Prior to purchasing ADSL equipment you should confirm with your Internet Service Provider the equipment you wish to use is technically supported by their service and is certified as compliant with technical specifications for use with Telstra's ADSL network. Telstra will NOT support fault-finding on any ADSL equipment, which is not compliant.
